To be a Godly person you must have strength and courage inside of you. Those that were shown to be great (heroes, leaders etc.) had a big heart; they were full of valiance. To be a Godly person means to give all of yourself with total trust to our Lord. If someone tells you something that bothers you, just let it go and think to yourself: “I also make mistakes”. It is valiant to tolerate other peoples’ mistakes. A person who is brave, is someone who also has love, and God appreciates that. Bravery does not mean you are a savage but rather that you are gallant. It means that you have gallantry and not misery.
From the book “From the Ascetic and Hesycastic Athonite Tradition”
